Absolutely stunning place to see. Loved the memorial to Diana. Wished there had been more information relevant to Diana's childhood would have been amazing. Still a lovely day out. Was interesting to read her brothers funeral speech and see footage of the sea of flowers. Went on her 21st anniversary of her death.

Beautiful gardens. House lovely too. Would have liked more choice in the shop though. Thoroughly enjoyed it though. Will go again

Lovely House and Grounds. Guides have some great stories. A bit of a walk from car park..

Took my mum who is a big Princess Diana fan and she absolutely loved it! We were delightfully surprised that her brother was signing books that day so it made the trip even more memorable. It’s a big place with plenty to see and enjoyable for anyone that appreciates history and country estates.

Interesting, but mostly Spencer family portraiture. Don't expect formal gardens and not much to divert children. It's also a long walk from the ticket office to the house with no seating.
